Allowing You to Sleep

    It is way past midnight
And I'm fighting the fight
    Battling the darkness
Battling the night
    To stay awake
Resisting my urges
    To hold you close
To hold you tight
    So I stay awake
Battling the night
    Staying awake
For as long as I can
    Until fatigue sets in
And then as though dead
    I can collapse into bed
Completely exhausted
    Having won my fight
Having conquered the night
    Allowing you to sleep . . .
